Specifically, FM3 constructed nine drones, varying from two seconds to 42 seconds, which repeat endlessly in the listener’s ear until the “track” is switched to the next drone (or the two AA batteries run out).

The machine has its own built-in speaker, in case one would like to fill a room with the drones, but there is also a headphone jack for more personal meditative experiences. There’s a switch on the side that allows for traversal of the tracks, and a DC jack (though an adapter is not included) for those who would like the Buddha Machine experience be truly endless.

It's pretty cool..the one I got him was very Twin Peaks sounding haha.

Such nice gifts! I'm pretty amped to see what you make with that scroll saw. I noticed the other day that someone bought "Minha Menina," despite the fact that I was like "One day I will buy that adorable girl." Poop! I'm sure the person who bought it will love it, though.

Wow, some great loot there!I am especially jealous of the gocco (I have been wanting one for years!)and the camera (which I just heard about now!)I cannot wait to see your photos!Oh beautiful print too....really I love it all, hahah!

I get so excited and sad when a painting sells haha. i'm sure i'll make more that are similar though..just when is the question haha. xoxo
